What is on the screen
A table of enquiries, with a count of how many you have in the header:
Filters cover the type, the channel, the date and the status.
Opening one gives you the rest: the date and time they want, the party size, who it is assigned to, the guest’s own note, and your team’s internal notes — which the person asking never sees.
What you do here
1
Work New first
An enquiry nobody has answered is a booking somebody else is taking.
2
Move the status as you go
Update status offers the steps that make sense from where it is now — Contacted once you have replied, Confirmed when it is agreed, Closed when it is not going ahead.
3
Write down what was agreed
An internal note is where “they want the terrace, confirmed by phone, deposit on arrival” lives. The status alone will not remind anybody of that in three weeks.
4
Add one yourself
Add Inquiry records an enquiry that arrived some other way — at the desk, over the phone — so it is worked like the rest instead of living on paper.
5
Archive it when it is finished
Confirmed and delivered, or closed. Archive clears it from this list.
